Oh, you don't know how much I needed these replies. Thank you so much ((((everyone)))) for the understanding and support.

He's leveling off. I spoke with him today, but the bottom will fall out soon.

He's not ill enough to force a 72 hour hold. That makes it hard as well.

I'm scared for my brother.

When they lose a place to live, they'll split up. It happens every time. He then gets suicidal. He knows more and more that the little man has a "family". He's referred to it often. I keep telling him how much he needs his daddy and that me and papaw can't replace his mama and daddy.

Ugh, eyes are leaking to picture the sweetest face in the world when my brother first sees his son for a visit. I can't explain the connection, the sweetness, the beauty.

I need to remind him of that.
